Yesterday I worked on commissions most of the day and then went to Sam Flax to pick up more canvas and more PITT pens. Then Paul and I went to Jason's Deli for dinner. I love the Tomato Basil soup there. Super yummy, even if it was 98 degrees outside.

Today just did a little more work. I had to write up all the step outs for the segments I'll be doing on Craft Lab. It takes awhile to figure out all the steps that you need to make one item. But that's nothing compared to making all the step outs, I dread that part. Still it's worth all the work to be on the show.

After all that we cleaned the house and did all the weekend chores.

Then we went over to my niece's house to celebrate her 6th birthday. We got her this toy but then we were dummy heads and forgot to bring batteries so it was a little anticlimactic. These toys need to come with batteries, I think it should be the law.

Your niece must be really precocious because that toy is for kids age 8 and up. Hope she likes the gift--it lookedintriguing--I thought your Maia was more into dolls though.

claudine,after visiting it for several minutes it's though i've known you several years. thanks also for all the support to my "if illos". i'm going to have to experiment with this collage stuff that you've got. thanks for the inspiration and great blog.

Wow...great gift....i see what you mean though about the batteries :) Preparing a show has got to be a lot of work...i am working on an article now, a step by step tutorital...it's amazing how something that you are so used to creating becomes so invloved and detailed when you have to write it all out :)Best of luck, I can't wait to see your shows :) Cheers!
